    "I think it's a tragedy that we are seeing this massive attack on our intelligence community," Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri said.

    "This is an untenable situation," says Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa). "It puts our entire national security at risk. Since she cannot be legitimately briefed, because she has directly challenged the integrity of the CIA, ...I'm asking that her security clearance be suspended or removed until such time as the situation is resolved."

    Senior Republican aides said the GOP would introduce a resolution calling for the probe to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against a terrorist suspect.

    Many Propeller Republicans joined in the condemnation of Pelosi. Let's see how many apologies are issued by those who pounced on Pelosi prematurely.

    LOL.

    PC25: "a phony, fraudulent, disingenuous liar

    This has the same truth and sincerity to it as sitting in a church for 20 years, being married by the pastor, having your children baptized by that pastor, contributing to that same church and listening to the sermons of that pastor on audio tape and then stating you knew nothing of the hate speech that was preached there every Sunday........"

      Impressive ybdog, BUT we shouldn't forget that the CIA has been lying to Congress repeatedly for DECADES and especially since the Reagan administration.

      Here is a great article about one of our own war criminals, which includes information on the involvement of he and others (especially Cheney and Gates) in corrupting the CIA during the Reagan administration (amongst other crimes), as well as their roles in preventing Congress from cleaning up the CIA after the Church investigation. It is written by a former member of the National Security Council who saw it all from the inside.

      Given Gates presence in the current administration, I doubt much has really changed.

        Baby steps, HYPERBOLA. At least Panetta had the courage to admit it (and not wait until decades after-the-fact to do so). That gives me some hope.

          hyperbola, the CIA has been lying ever since I started paying attention to politics. Remember that the Nixon gang that broke into the Watergate building were ex-CIA agents. The CIA has been accused of being involved in both Kennedy assassinations as well as the MLK assassination. True or not, where there's smoke there's fire.
          One thing that stands out to me is the fact that G H W Bush was the head of the CIA under President Ford and has been accused of being involved with the supposed agreement with the Iranians after the Embassy was taken over in 1979. After he became VP, we had the Iran-Contra scandal that had Bush and the CIA's MO all over it. So it's been going on a long time.

          As always, very thorough research and accountability.

          Its one of those old, 'my team' is better and more honorable than 'your team' until the truth comes out and they are left backpeddling and looking for another angle. Be sure that Panetta will be the new goat in this sad saga of American atrocities.

          Could things possible get worse for the Republicans?

          Will this matter to the base?

                Does those drops mean they aren't going to apologize?
                Did they forget that their idol Newt Gingrich also stated that the CIA had lied?
                Why wasn't Newt called out to defend his statement as the Republicans called out Pelosi?

              I just love it. Paneta, a Democrat operative, says that the CIA held back information and misled members of congress. We are supposed to believe him. He is protecting his own. His getting that appointment was a very shady deal to begin with. He is protecting his buddies.

                No I wouldn't expect you to believe him because you still don't believe anyone that tells you that there were no WMDs in Iraq.

                Would you believe one of your own party member if they said the CIA lies to congress?

                  So you are accusing Leon Panetta, the director Intelligence, of lying

                  Prove it, you unpatriotic, right-wing nutcase.
